Was reading the hot new novel Visions Of Heat by Nalini Singh when I came across this passage.
“Every prediction Faith ever made, if not purposefully circumvented, came true. That was why she was worth untold millions. Possibly even billions. NightStar considered her its most prized asset. Like any asset, she was kept in the best condition for optimum functionality. And like any asset, should she prove defective, she’d be overhauled and used for parts.”
Now I can’t predict the future (just look at some of my stock picks if you need proof) and I’m not worth untold billions or even millions, but am I considered an asset?
I don’t know about being controlled by an entity (although I guess we all are in some way controlled by someone or something else) but I do know that I plan to provide benefits and add value to the world. I try to give more than I get.
Isn’t that the goal in life? To become more than what we started out as? To make the world a better place by having lived? To leave the world in not only the financial black but in the cosmic black also?
I think so.
Though asset or not, I doubt I’ll ever be overhauled and used for parts. After 35 years of solid living, many of my parts are already proving defective.
